About the Item

An important and high quality Italian early 19th century Neo-Classical st. Gilt and patinated wood Gouache, by Maestri Michelangelo. This beautiful Gouache is framed within a rectangular patinated and gilt frame decorated with scrolling foliate designs. The Gouache depicts The Return of Ulysses, stamped 'II ritorno d'Ulisse' along the base, depicting him returning to Ithaca after completing the devised contest that Penelope created and reuniting to celebrate. Michelangelo Maestri was an Italian artist of the 18th century who died in Rome in 1812. His finest compositions are based on motifs from antique frescos discovered in Pompeii and Herculaneum and from designs by Raphael or his pupil Giulio Romano. His work became very popular and often purchased by European travelers during their Grand Tour. Some of his most famous gouaches portray putti leading animals on a chariot and were inspired by ceiling frescoes in the Salone of Villa Lante, on the Janiculum Hill in Rome.
